You’re right — I haven’t heard “flatten the curve” rhetoric since the earlier days of the pandemic. Taking the vaccine helps prevent healthcare systems from crashing. In highly vaccinated areas, is it accurate to now say, “Mission accomplished”? I don’t think so, given that children under 12 can’t be vaccinated. And yet we are sending them back to in-person learning in droves….
+1 about the inconsistent messaging and logic.
- spookthesunset 5y agoChildren aren’t at risk of covid. Flu and pool drowning is greater risks… In my opinion these public health “experts” have a moral obligation to tell people to stop worrying about kids. I honestly don’t understand why they haven’t cheered the fact kids aren’t at risk. It’s good news! The cynical side of me thinks they want to let people remain scared so they gobble up kids vaccines when released. Which is pretty ethically challenged but par for course with these “experts”.

- nickthemagicman 5y agoWhat data are you using that shows hospital systems crashing? Not media articles but where is the actual data you're using to make this claim?
